While this is a trackable car, it's a luxury purchase at the same time, and hence by definition makes no sense... I can speak for myself, while I may push this car to its limits on rare occasions, at 6 am on a sunny Sunday, I still like the idea of this thing being totally radical and different... That's MY perception of luxury, and what I'd like this car to be for me... You could also consider us to be over enthusiast P owners, dreaming of owning the next 993 GT2 or Porsche as collectible and hardcore... This enthusiasm keeps this thread going, and creates controversial opinions for sure... So what!

Enthusiasm is great and we all have it, especially for Porsche. All I'm saying is you can't expect a straight race car from a What now is a sports/luxury car manufacturer. If that's What you want you get a cup car.

Some of us are excited about the thought of something in-between... A tweaked engine, CF bits, two tone interior, and a plate on the dashboard is just too easy, and no big deal as a last hurrah for the 997... And would make it simply a GT3RS +... Porsche did about 25 street 993 RSRs, and we're hoping they'd do it again... There is still a world to explore and be in, between a GT3RS and a Cup/R/RSR... We're hoping Porsche takes us there...

I am sure it will be more than a GT3RS+...

Porsche can build a 4.0 GT3RS++ and cosmetically they can do what this dude did:

Rumours say that BBS rims have been done upon his request as he could not find right dimensions for road-use tyres.
I do not know how much he spent but I guess the price should not be far from what he paid for the original car...
